The nicest thing someone's ever done for meIn amongst all the tales of bitterness and poo, we occasionally get fluffy stories that bring a small tear to our internet-jaded eyes.
In celebration of this, what is the nicest thing someone's done for you? Whether you thoroughly deserved it or it came out of the blue, tell us of heartwarming, selfless acts by others.
Failing that, what nice things have you done for other people, whether they liked it or not?

You have no idea how good it is to read thisI'm currently sitting here in the early hours, desperately preparing for a Philosophy seminar this coming morning. Every time I think I've got it down, I find a counter-argument or something I don't understand. It's so frustrating, but you've reminded me why I'm studying this,
Philosophy is indeed thought of as a doss subject due to that horrible A level marking scheme where you can quote endless philosophers without really knowing what they're on about.
It is, however, the study of everything to the strictest degree, and is guaranteed to make you see things in a new light (i.e. closer to how they are). Good luck with the Physics!

I really am glad I studied philosophyI remember the day I finally realised. I'd been to the pub, and I was out walking through the countryside near my house. I was leaning on a post at 2am in the morning when the realisation hit me, and I'm not ashamed to say that I cried with happiness for the first time in years. It was just like a huge weight had been lifted.
I'm certain beyond all doubt that if I ever (hopefully never) suffer from Alzheimers or dementia, that memory will be the last of all to go.
